The second bedroom comes with two twin beds. The bathroom is in its original style with bathtub, toilet, and sink and has a lovely window that overlooks the garden so you can enjoy the view while taking a shower!

The spacious kitchen has a definitive 50’s look with gorgeous old Hollywood diner style breakfast nook, stove and fridge, *dishwasher*, washer/dryer and a super-charming breakfast area.

The living room is spacious, light and airy and is comfortably furnished with both modern and original Mid-Century pieces.

The unit was initially a shock! According to the description at Wimdu we had imagined something else entirely. The photos showed a relatively modern facilities and chic apartment. In fact, the furniture was very worn, some have actually heard immediately on the tip. The carpet in the living room curled up on both sides, so that one had to be careful not to trip. The Eßtischstühle went in the truest sense of the word from the glue. The two TV's were very old clunky models, one of which did not work. The equipment in the kitchen was quite poor, so it was, for example, only two teaspoons and a slightly larger bucket, which you could use as a soup spoon. There were exactly four forks and four knives available. The oven of the stove did not work. A lamp hanging over the dining table with sixteen bulbs, of which six (!) Were broken. The floor lamp in the living room corner was just scrap. The light bulb in a lamp in the living room wall was just as the ceiling light in the (children) bedroom. The worst: The toilet flush did not work!Fortunately, you could reach over email Angie and she sent a kind of Mexican janitor over, although the two exchanged bulbs and on this occasion even the finger-thick black dirt and dust removed a layer in the bedroom before the ceiling light. With the toilet flush but he also did not get along and after several emails we were put off until the next morning. On Saturday around 10:00 clock was actually someone who could provide a remedy after about an hour. This meant practically a lost vacation day, because until Saturday 11:00 clock we were stuck on Friday 15:00 clock in the apartment and also could not even use the toilet properly (you had to make do with a bucket of water, which you empty the cistern ). Turning up the taps in the bathtub, you should also be careful, because you really have to try very hard to be able to turn it back anyway because the fittings are all rotten hopeless.Now to the positives: After two / three days we got used to the Gammel and you noticed the condition of the apartment no longer as critical as in the beginning. The location is just great. You can walk to the Farmers Market and The Grove. Similarly, the Melrose Ave. and the LACMA. By car, it is not far to DOWNTOWN or on Hollywood Blvd. A few steps away is a very nice Italian restaurant with unbeatable offers on Monday (all pastas $ 10) and Tuesday (three course menu for $ 15). A parking lot is in the back yard to the apartment! However, the car should not be too wide, because the passage is very narrow! A washer and dryer are available. So, who does not interfere in a somewhat seedy atmosphere, can live here very centrally located in a quiet residential area.

Location of the apartment is fine, decor accordance picture, only hinges and locks, very bad. Only glass which permeates all the outside noise. Maintenance is not very good, loose board, light in motion did not, dishwasher does not work properly. Had a lot of noise from neighbors, their apartment was probably wooden floors. Host not meet all controlled via mail or phone. Parking in the street may only little space, sometimes only two blocks away parking.

The location of this apartment is great : plenty of restaurants, good shopping and still relatively close to Hollywood boulevard and the more "touristy" stuff. If you have a car, the location is just perfect. Parking was easy on the street with the supplied pass. The apartment itself offered enough room for our family of four.

However, there are drawbacks : the apartment is very noisy (street noise), a bit hot (we were there mid-July) and not the cleanest. The furniture and the various equipments are not in great shape. Expect basic accomodations rendered more enjoyable by the art displayed on the walls.

We might consider staying there again but it wouldn't automatically be our first choice. If you are happy with basic quarters in a great location, you will be happy with this apartment.

The good: Spacious, bright, very well located (with car), nice area. Parking in the street but often in the surrounding streets. Well equipped, lots of storage. The worst: Clim. noisy, not very clean (stained sheets and traces of previous tenants in the bathtub ...). Single glazed so outside noise. AC. is present in the room and in one of two rooms. The other room has fans.

Nice apartment with everything we needed. Close to everything (and more if you don't mind walking a little longer). We walked to Target, The Grove and La Brea. Bus stop right outside, and nice restaurants around the area.

Only cons would be that it was very hot, and hard to cool down the apartment, but we still loved it!

POSITION, POSITION, POSITION The position of the apartment is wonderful in that everything is in such easy driving distance from the Getty Center, Griffith Observatory, Universal Studios, ... Plus walking along Melrose Avenue was such fun for food and especially people watching.
Inside was wonderful and an escape from the outside world. Hubby and I enjoyed our own room away from the two boys who loved having their own bed (rather than sharing in a hotel). The space to move and sit on the couch or at the table allowed for us to not be on top of one another.
Angie made check in easy and we would recommend staying at this property. And YES WE WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN!!!
Parking on the whole was really easy with the pass.
